Problem: there is no Turkish word for frustrated, or at least not one that I have found in 13 years of asking my Turkish friends. Kızmış (angry) is not right, as that doesn not have the implication of not been able to do anything about the situation. Ãœzülmüş (sad) is not strong enough. Sıkılmış (fed up) again doesn't say it all. Maybe it is part of the fact that Turks are good at waiting patiently and we are not! Some of my middle class colleagues have started using the made up phrase frustre edilmek "to be frustrated" - but it isnt widely used. I have chosen to use "I find it hard" (onu zor buluyorum), but switch it for one of these other words if you prefer them.
Dünkü davranışlarımdan özür diliyorum. Seni çok özlüyorum, ve bana kızdığın zaman onu çok zor buluyorum, çünkü her zaman konuşamıyoruz - ikimizin hayatı diğer şeylerle dolu. Lütfen bana kızma.

It is very interesting. Thanks for this explanation.
On the other hand, you have to mention on what "onu" refers before "onu". When you say "onu", it sounds like there was something physical, like an animal or a thing you have seen on the road. But "onu" is not suitable for actions/activities sometimes.
Maybe there is a similar solution, but I prefer to change the verb and add some more adjectives in order to make the meaning clearer:
...ve bana kızdığında/kızdığın zaman bu bana dayanılmaz bir şekilde üzücü geliyor...
or another alternative:
...bu bana çok zor geliyor...
and you should add that this makes you sad as well:
...ve üzülüyorum...
